Hyperscale X on ESXi for Lab

Dear All, 

 

I am trying to build a HyperScale X Lab in our office. I am using sp40_13_hsx_prod_dvd_09152025_061956.iso it is failing on Creating Building Storage Configuration. Please assist. 

 

 

Hello ​@Deep,

Please raise a case with support we are happy to assist you further.

Hi ​@Deep 

I've noticed you've only got one drive which is less than 240GB for the metadrive.

Can you re-try with having 2x drives for your Meta Drives (2x120 will suffice)? The rest looks fine to proceed for the purpose of a testing lab. 

Thank you

Hi ​@Deep ,

You can open a case with support and provide the screenshot of /var/log/hyperscale.log and /var/log/bmr.log from the node where the storage initialization failed to assist you further
